10 Musicians Paul Simon Couldn't Stand
00:02
10. KISS
00:05
KISS's theatrical, merchandise-driven performances clashed with Simon's belief in artistry over spectacle,
00:12
reflecting industry debates about substance versus marketing.
00:16
9. Sting
00:18
Sting's shift from raw police energy to jazz-influenced solo work concerned Simon,
00:23
who valued organic songwriting partnerships over calculated collaborations.
00:27
8. Lou Reed
00:30
Lou Reed's dissonant Velvet Underground style clashed with Simon's demand for precise melody,
00:36
reflecting philosophies in 1960s New York music.
00:40
7. The Eagles
00:41
Despite massive commercial success, Simon questioned the Eagles' authenticity,
00:47
critiquing millionaires singing of simple lives they never experienced.
00:51
6. Ed Sheeran
00:53
Sheeran's acoustic folk-pop comparisons to Simon and Garfunkel worried Simon,
00:58
who feared modern comfort lacked the tension of transcendent songwriting.
01:02
5. Bob Dylan
01:04
Dylan's aloof mystique clashed with Simon's clarity-focused craft,
01:09
epitomizing 1960s tensions between folk-traditionalists and pop-song perfectionists.
01:14
6. Grand Funk Railroad
01:17
Simon dismissed Grand Funk Railroad's stadium-sized volume and marketing-driven image
01:22
as organized noise, criticizing their technical limits buried under amps.
01:27
7. Creedence Clearwater Revival
01:30
Simon criticized CCR's portrayal of southern life,
01:35
accusing them of cultural tourism, while prioritizing quantity over songwriting quality.
01:39
7. The Doors
01:42
Jim Morrison
01:42
Simon disdained Morrison's theatrical mysticism,
01:46
believing songs should communicate clearly, not obfuscate,
01:50
contrasting shamanistic performance with melody craft.
01:53
1. Art Garfunkel
01:55
Simon's partnership with Garfunkel balanced harmony and tension,
01:59
yet their 1970 breakup and reunions exposed deep creative and personal conflicts.
